Honestly, Mossy Creek is not a fair school. My daughter has been punished for something she didn't even do! Some kids spilled a drink in the cafeteria and now the WHOLE team A has assigned seats in the cafeteria, and they don't have any breaks. But team B has all of that still! And my daughter ( and all the other innocent kids ) are having a horrible time. And my daughter is being bullied, and none of the teachers do anything! One guy called my daughter a freak right in front of a teacher, and she didn't do anything! HORRIBLE SCHOOL! rating: I shouldnt even give you star! IM GLAD NEXT YEAR MY DAUGHTER DOESN'T HAVE TO BE IN MCMS ANYMORE! Close Quote
